After Johnson was released from prison, Trumptweeted that he hopes she has "a wonderful life". "This is not a publicity thing for her. Kim told me when she left that White House meeting that no matter how this turns out she would never stop fighting for me until I come home".

"I think that she really deserves a second chance at life", she told the website.

"The presidential pardon holds a special resonance for Trump, representing one area where he has nearly unchecked power as other aspects of his presidency... remain outside his control", The Post says.

Johnson's daughter, Catina Scales, who appeared with her on "New Day", also thanked Kardashian West for her help in obtaining her mother's commutation.

Johnson was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, and appellate courts and the U.S. Supreme Court had denied her appeals. "It was the most exhilarating feeling I've ever had, Michael".

"I want to take this chance to try to magnify what has happened with me so that people will remember that there are other people just like me who are non-violent, first-time offenders who pose no safety risk to their communities", she told "Today".

Mr Trump and Kim met in the Oval office to discuss Ms Johnson's case on May 30.
